Founded in 1990, the Law Offices of Tyler & Peery represents injured people throughout Texas, including people in Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin. Weak government standards may cause automakers to make a defective product that has structural integrity flaws. Some of the common structural integrity problems include:

• Roof crush: In a rollover accident, the roof may buckle or intrude into the passenger compartment of the car.
• Vehicle rollover: A poorly designed vehicle with a center of gravity that is too high may cause the vehicle to tip over easily.
• Defective glass: Glass may shatter during an accident, injuring the passengers.
• Latch and door defect: Doors may open during an accident or fail to protect occupants from outside intrusions.
• Front-end crumble zone defect: This is a situation in which a car is unable to disperse the force of a front-end accident.
• Air bag malfunction: An airbag may fail to deploy or deploy prematurely.

Automakers know how to design safer automobiles that can protect you and your family. They sometimes place profits before the safety of your family. In addition, if automakers were required to comply with stricter structural integrity standards, some structural integrity problems might be minimized.
